Best Western Adelaide Airport

“Great facilities for family needing quick access to Airport”

Perfect for airport drop offs and pickups We stayed 1 night in the the 3 bedroom house with a young family, (3 kids under 8yrs) everything we needed for an overnight stay was there, with a small backyard to give them some outside playtime. Everything clean & tidy well layed out

“Great airport hotel”

First time at this airport hotel. For a hotel airport it's outside the airport area, but a shuttle is available for a cost, the rooms are small but modern, clean, comfortable, sound proofed, shower hot, good wifi connection, Friendly welcome. Big big plus - a stainless steel kettle. Thank … more

“When Close enough is good enough”

There's no doubt that the modern airport hotel is a thing of great convenience. However, there's a price to be paid for this, and sometimes near enough is good enough.

There's no doubt that the modern airport hotel is a thing of great convenience. However, there's a price to be paid for this, and sometimes near enough is good enough. Unless you have a near-bottomless corporate expense account, sometimes you just want to save a few dollars and spend them somewhere else on your journey. It wasn't that long ago, in 2018, that Adelaide opened its first airport hotel, the 165-room Atura. It was the first in the country to be connected directly to a terminal building. However, I've found another perfectly acceptable property within spitting distance of Adelaide airport. I worked out that you’d save at least $50 on a room here compared to the Atura. The Best Western is a clever and sensible conversion of a classic old motel into a comfortable modern accommodation within easy reach of the terminal. The former beige-brick 1970s Aviator’s Lodge reopened in August 2024 as the thoroughly refreshed Best Western Adelaide Airport, falling into the ‘mid-scale’ range of accommodation. Yes, it's outside the airport precinct but easily accessible by public transport or a dedicated shuttle at a reasonable extra cost. ($14pp or $20/couple). A lunchtime Uber is about $14. My room (9) was also an accessible suite. It was large and comfortable, with everything you could possibly want for a brief overnight pre-flight stay. Double-glazed windows and soundproof doors ensured the room stayed quiet. The superbly comfortable bed, massive flat-screen TV, hot shower, minifridge, and breakfast and bar were just a hop and a jump across the driveway. The restaurant menu offers generous pub-style dishes at reasonable prices. Steaks, pizzas, burgers, and chicken are featured, along with local wines and Coopers Ale on tap. What else could you want? In almost 30 years of staying at and reviewing hotels, the thing that often lingers in my memory beyond the carpet and wall hangings is the quality of the staff and the warm feelings they leave you with long after you've checked out. This was certainly the case with the Best Western Adelaide Airport, and I want to thank ever-cheery Millie and her team for a most pleasant stay.

“Quiet one night stay just minutes from the airport with a reasonably-priced Uber ride.”

Very comfortable, inexpensive accommodation. Quiet and near the airport. If needed, request a ground level room as there is no lift.
